Using PALL0 as a real-world case, we walk through designing and implementing a lightweight AI coding assistant integrated into a live system. The session highlights how AI can shift development from traditional coding toward more natural, interaction-driven workflows. **Roope Tikkanen: Your Data, Your Agents: Building an AI-Ready Lakehouse with DuckDB and Python** This talk presents a practical approach to building a lightweight lakehouse using DuckDB and Python demonstrated through a real-world project that ingests operational data from different SaaS tools into a unified analytical layer. We cover metadata-driven ETL pipelines, incremental ingestion patterns, and how a well-structured local lakehouse becomes the foundation for AI agents that can reason over your data with full context. All without the overhead of more traditional data warehousing infrastructure.
